	a.	Demand: Q_d = 24 - 2 P
	b.	Demand: Q_d = 10/P
	c.	Demand: log Q_d = 100 - 3 log P
	d.	Supply: Q_s = 5 P

For the function Q = AK^αL^β which of the following statements are not true?

	a.	Marginal Product of Capital (MPK) = αQ / K
	b.	Marginal Product of Labour (MPL) = AαK^α-1L^β
	c.	Marginal rate of substitution of capital for labour (MRS) = \|dK / dL\|

For the demand function Q₁ = 10 - 8 P₁ + P₂ + 0.01Y which of the following statements are true?

	a.	δQ₁ / δP₁ = -8 + P₂ + 0.01Y
	b.	dQ₁ / δY = 0.01
	c.	δQ₁ / δP₂ = P₂
	d.	δQ₁ / δP₁ = 8

For the following total cost function, find marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC) and average variable cost (AVC) and then decide which of the following are true. TC = 0.1Q³ - 4Q² + 80Q + 150 doesn’t implies

	a.	MC = 0.3Q² - 8Q + 80
	b.	ATC = 0.1Q² - 4Q + 80
	c.	AVC = 0.1Q² - 4Q + 80
	d.	MC=AVC at Q=20

Consider the following market demand and supply functions: Qd = 14 - p Qs = -6 + p a) Calculate the perfectly competitive equilibrium price, quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus. b) If an output tax t = 2 is imposed on consumers, calculate the new price, quantity, consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus. What is the deadweight loss? Total taxes collected? (Note: an output tax shifts the demand curve intercept downward by the amount of the...

Given the demand function Qd = D(p, y0), which is a function of price p and exogenous income y0, the supply function Qs = S(p). Suppose both the D,S functions are not given in specific forms but possess continuous derivatives, if we know that supply function is strictly increasing, and demand function is strictly decreasing w.r.t price but a strictly increasing w.r.t income. (a) Write the equilibrium condition in a single equation. (b) Check whether the implicit-function theorem is applicable,...

Suppose that the demand for bananas is given by: Qd(p) = 1,500,000 – 50000p where Qd(p) is quantity demanded in kilograms of bananas and p is the price. Further suppose that there are many identical sellers in the domestic market who can each choose to plant bananas. If a seller chooses to produce bananas, she will incur a planting cost of $2.00 per kilogram at the beginning of the year and must pay an additional $0.50 per kilogram to harvest...
